PAPER-HANGING MACHINE.

Application filed January 31, 1922. Serial No. 532,956.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL BRILL, a citizen of the United States, residingat J ackson, in the county of Jackson, State of Michigan, have inventeda new and useful Paper-Hanging Machine; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same. a

The invention relates to paper hanging machines, and has for its objectto provide a device of this character in which a roll of paper may beplacedand the free end passed upwardly under an enlongated' brush forapplying the paper to a wall on which an adhesive has been placed whenthe machine is moved downwardly by the operator.

A further object is to provide, means whereby different lengths of rollsof paper may be received and held within the machine. Also to providemeans whereby the width of the brush may be varied according to thewidth of the paper.

A further object is to provide a paper hanging machine having a handlemember, outwardly adjustable frames carried by said handle member, saidframe being provided with means for supporting a roll of paper, and alsowith overlapped elongated brushes slidably connected, the length of thebrush as a whole being automatically extended to comply with the widthof the roll. of paper being held in the machine. Also to provide theouter ends of the adjustable frame with supporting rollers adapted toengage the wall and roll over the same during the downward movement ofthe invention.

WVith the above and other objects in view the invention resides in thecombination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set Figure 2 is arear elevation of the paper hanging machine.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the machine taken on line3--3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail perspective view of one end of the pivoted brush.

Referring to the drawings the numeral 1 designates a handle member,which handle member has secured thereto by means of a rivet 2 a guideyoke 3. Extending through the guide yoke 3, are the arms 4 and 5 of theinwardly and outwardly movable frames 6 and 7. The arms 4 and 5 havesecured thereto yokes S, in which the adjacent arms are slidable andguidedwhen the frames- 6and 7 are adjusted inwardly or outwardlyaccording to the width of the roll of paper 9. Secured to the upper end10 of the handle member 1 is a second yoke 11, in which yoke the arms 4and 5 of the frames 6 and 7 are slidably mounted. Said arms are held inregistration during the slidable engagement 7 thereof by means of yokes12 in which the adjacent arms are mounted. It will be seen that theframes 6 and 7 may be adjusted inwardly and outwardly and held inadjusted positions by means of set screws 13. 0

The outer ends of the arms 4 and 4 are secured to a segmentally shapedbracket 14, and extending outwardly from said bracket 14 is an arm 15,which terminates in a forwardly extending arm 16. The for wardlyextending arm 16 has secured thereto by means of rivets 17, a plate 18.It will be seen that as the frame 6 is adjusted inwardly or out-wardlythe plate 18 will move therewith, thereby varying the distance betweenthe plate 18 and the plate 19 carried by the frame 7 for receivingtherebetween on the shaft 20 various lengths of rolls of paper accordingto the standard sizes. The roll supporting shaft 20 extends throughapertures 21 in the plates 18 and 19, and through apertures ofspringplates 22, which plates flex slightly and hold the shaft againstmovement after the plates have been adjusted the proper distance apartand a roll of paper of the desired width placed therein. If so desiredcotter pins 23 may be provided in the ends of the shaft 20 forpreventing the shaft from coming entirely &

out of the apertures 21. Pivotally mounted on the arm 16 of the plate 18and on the arm 24 of the plate 19 are guide wheels 25, which wheelsduring a paper hanging operation engage the wall 25 and guide the deviceas the operator moves the same downwardly. The free end of the paperfrom the roll 9 extends forwardly and upwardly over a guide rod 26, andtience to a point beneath the elongated brush 27, which brush during thedownward movement of the machine presses the wall paper into engagementwith the wall 25 which has been previously coated with an adhesive,thereby causing the paper to adhere to the wall. The rod 26 has its endsextending through apertures 28 in the plates 18 and 19, and throughapertures of spring plates 29, which plates closely bind on the rod 26,and prevent longitudinal movement of the .rod under normal conditions.The brush 27 is formed in two sections 30 and 31, which sections overlapeachother and are slidably connected together bymeans of the H-shapedmembers 32 which extend through registering slots 33, and through thebrush bars 34 and 35. The brush bar 3d has secured to its outer end bymeans of rivets 36 a bracket 37, which bracket is in turn provided witha pintle 38 pivotally mounted in a bearing 39 of the plate 19 and movedwith said plate 19 as it moves inwardly and outwardly. The brush bar 35has secured thereto a plate l0, which plate is provided with a pintlell,'pivotally mounted in the upper end of thesegmentally bracket it. Itwill be seen that the brush bars 34 and 35, when the frames 6 and 7 areadjusted inwardly and outwardly will move with said frames and be guidedin their movements by means of the H-shaped membars. 32 extendingthrough the registering slots 33 therein. By simultaneously varying thelength of the brush sections 30 and 31 as the frames 6 and 7 areadjusted for various widths of wall paper, it will be seen that thedevice will be wide enough to en gage the outer face of the wall paperfor its entire width when the same is applied to a wall. The bars and 3aof the brush sections 30 and 31 are slidably mounted between the arms 42of a plate 4L3, which plate is vertically disposed. and has its lowercurved edge at in slidable engagement transversely and longitudinally onthe arm 5 of the frame 7. The plate when moved downwardly at its rearend 45, moves the brush 27 on its pivotal points and changes theinclinations of the brush 2'? as desired. After the rear end 45 of theplate 43 has been moved to the desired position, the thumb nut L6 istightened, thereby binding the plate 43 by means of the bolt 47 whichpasses through the upper end ofthehandle shaped I 1 ,esaaae member 1 andthe segment-ally shaped slot 48, and consequently holds the brush 27against pivotal action.

From the above it will be seen that a paper hanging machine is providedwhich may be easily and quickly adjusted for re ceiving rolls of wallpaper of varying widths, and that the brush 27 will be simultaneouslyextended or shortened in accordance to the adjustment of the device forreceiving the roll of wall paper..

The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and usefulis 1. A. wallpaper hanging machine, said machine comprising a handlemember, a

frame carried by said handle member, means for detachably supporting" aroll of wall paper in said frame, means whereby said frame may beextended for receiving and holding rolls of wall paper of differentlengths, a brush carried by said frame and disposed above the roll ofwall paper and means whereby when said frame is extended said brush willbe simultaneously lengthened.

2. The combination with a wall paper machine comprising an extensibleframe for the reception of rolls of wall paper'of different lengths, ofa paper engaging brush carried by said frame, said brush being soconstructed that when the frame is extended the length of the brush willbe simultaneously changed.

3. The combination with an extensible wall paper roll receiving frame ofa wall paper hangingmachine, of an extensible brush whereby upon anextension of the frame said brush will be simultaneously extended.

4:. The combination with a wall paper hanging machine comprising anextensible frame, said frame being formed in two sections slidablyengaging each other, of a paper engaging brush carried by said frame,said brush being formed from two sections, the outer ends of thesections of thebrush being connected to the sections of the extensibleframe, the inner ends of said brush being overlapped and slidablyconnected to each other, said brush being simultaneously extended orshortened upon" movement of the framesectionsL 5. A paper hangingmachine comprise inoa handle member. a frame carried 1') carried by saidframe and means as it is applied to a wall, said brush comprisingoverlapped brush sections slidably connect-ed together the outer ends ofsaid brush sections being supported by the frame sections and adjustableinwardly and outwardly therewith, and means for varying the angle of thebrush.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
